Random
The random choices that we make
Determine who we know -
The friends and kin we keep for years
And those who come and go.
For where we live and where we work
Might differ - do the math -
If, searching for career and home,
We'd walked a different path.
A house for sale some other place
Or job most opportune
May possibly have led us
To a different Brigadoon.
We cannot know what might have been
Or even if we'd trade,
But should accept the wonder of
The choices we have made.
